cold, dark, wet
with flashes of light
a wounded man falls
dead in the night
a man forgotten
a man slain
a man never to be be seen
by his family again
but was it all worth it?
losing your life
fighting for ones country
thought to be perfect
but was it all worth it?
a boy sits alone
his father will never come home
the man he looked up to
the mirror image of
is gone forever
lost in the sludge
a young woman cries
a full life ahead of her
no more church bells
ring in her head
all because of one visit
a knock at the door
there stand two soldiers
im sorry they say
delivered a message
of heartbreak and pain
the cycle continues
to this very day
of cheerful homecomings
and those not so lucky
a dog tag and a memory
a picture or two
learning a new life
to live withought a few.
